After extraction the ionic liquid （IL） phase was injected directly into the high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） system for determination. Some parameters that might affect the extraction efficiency were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, good linear relationship, sensitivity and reproducibility were obtained. The limits of detection （LOD, S/N = 3） for the four analytes were in the range of 0.45-2.6 μg L^-1. The relative standard deviations （R.S.D., n = 6） were in the range of 6.2-9.8%. This method was applied for the analysis of the real water samples. The recoveries ranged from 93.4 to 106.4%. The main advantages of the method are high speed, high recovery, good repeatability and volatile organic solvent-free.展开更多

Based on this question, our team modified D2EHPA to synthesize new extractants. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the extraction of rare earth ions （RE3＋） from phosphate leach solution using emulsion liquid membrane （ELM） in concentrated nitric acid medium. The ELM system is made up of （RO）2P（O）OPh-COOH as carrier, polyisocrotyl succinimide （T154） as surfactant, sulfonated kerosene as diluent, phosphoric acid （H3PO4） as stripping solution. Different chemical parameters such as type and concentration of carrier, surfactant, stripping solution, volume ratio of oil phase to internal phase, and volume ratio of emulsion ratio to external phase were analyzed. The extraction of RE^3＋ was evaluated by the yield of extraction. In addition, the demulsification process was also investigated. The proposed method of ELM using （RO）2P（O）OPh-COOH as carrier can he expected to provide an efficient, simplify operation, and facilitated method for extractine RE^3＋.展开更多

Tri-n-butyl phosphate（TBP） was used as a phase modifier to accelerate phase separation and improve the stability of organic phase. The addition of TBP contributed to shortening phase separation time, increasing extraction capacity of rare earth elements（REEs） and decreasing viscosity of organic phase. The slope analysis method and infrared spectroscopy were conducted to investigate the ion-association extraction mechanisms. Extraction and stripping performances of the different systems were also compared. The article showed that the extraction performance of mixed [N（1888）][SOPAA] and TBP is superior to that of [N（1888）][SOPAA] for heavy rare earth element（HREE）.展开更多

Here novel method of emulsion liquid membrane （ELM） using Aniline as carrier to extract RE from the feed solution was proposed. The method could increase the extraction rate of RE in the real sample to 93%. The effects of dif- ferent parameters such as type and concentration of carrier and surfactant, hydrochloric acid concentration, organic to internal phase volume ratio, membrane to external phase volume ratio on extraction of RE3＋ were investigated. Quantitative extraction （〉93%） of RE3＋ was observed with 6 vol.% Aniline and 4 vol.% T 154 liquid membrane at external to internal phase volume ratio of 10 for the feed solution. The proposed method of ELM using Aniline as carrier can be expected to provide a practical, efficient, and economical method for extracting RE from phosphate leach solution with high acidity in the industry of wet process phosphoric acid.展开更多

Rare earth ions were extracted into the organic phase at first; after that, the loaded organic phase was stripped by aqueous solution of PO_4^(3-) under stirring at room temperature within 5 min.The extractant used here is a bifunctional ionic liquid extractant called [A336][cyanex272]. The products are hexagonal phase in crystal structure, and their morphology is nanorods. The diameter of the products is from 30 to 50 nm, and the length increases from 200 nm to 2 μm gradually. Besides, the ionic liquid-absorbed CePO_4:Tb^(3+) nanorods show improved luminescent emitting intensity and lifetime. Based on the results, a possible growth mechanism of the REPO_4(RE = La–Gd) nanorods is proposed, where the extractants here also play roles of structure-directing agents and surfactants during the formation process of nanocrystals.展开更多

The effects of stirring speed, temperature and specific interfacial area on the extraction rate were examined. The results indicate that mass transfer kinetics of La(III) is a mixed-controlled process influenced by interfacial reaction. On the basis of mass transfer kinetic results in the extraction of La(III) by [A336][CA-12], the extraction rate equation of La(III) is proposed in terms of pseudo-firstorder constants, which is supported by the measured thermodynamic equations. The mass-transfer kinetic model deduced from the rate controlling step is adequate to interpret the experimental data qualitatively.展开更多

文摘In this work,we proposed a strategy for the hydrolysis of native corn starch after the treatment of corn starch in an ionic liquid aqueous solution,and it is an awfully“green”and simple means to obtain starch with low molecular weight and amorphous state.X-ray diffraction results revealed that the natural starch crystalline region was largely disrupted by ionic liquid owing to the broken intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds.After hydrolysis,the morphology of starch changed from particles of native corn starch into little pieces,and their molecular weight could be effectively regulated during the hydrolysis process,and also the hydrolyzed starch samples exhibited decreased thermal stability with the extension of hydrolysis time.This work would counsel as a powerful tool for the development of native starch in realistic applications.
文摘Pediatric cancers are particularly significant due to their uncommon occurrence in children,driven by a variety of underlying factors.Because of their distinct molecular and genetic makeup,which makes early detection challenging,they are linked to problems.Diagnostic methods like imaging and tissue biopsy are only effective when the tumor has reached a size that can be identified.The liquid biopsy technique,the least intrusive and most convenient diagnostic method,is the subject of this review.It focuses on the significance of single cell analysis in examining uncommon cancer types.The many biomarkers found in bodily fluids and the cancer types they are linked to in children have been assessed,as has the potential route towards early detection and cancer recurrence forecasting.Combining the single cell liquid biopsy with the newest technologies,such as computational and multi-omics approaches,which have improved the efficiency of processing massive and unique genetic data,appears promising.This article discusses on a number of case reports for uncommon pediatric malignancies,such as Neuroblastoma,Medulloblastoma,Wilms Tumor,Rhabdomyosarcoma,Ewing Sarcoma,and Retinoblastoma,as well as their liquid biopsy profiles.Furthermore,the findings raise ethical questions regarding the therapeutic application of the technology as well as possible difficulties related to clinical translation.The likelihood that this single cell liquid biopsy will be clinically validated and eventually used as a routine diagnostic tool for uncommon pediatric cancers will rise with the realistic approach to sensitivity monitoring,specificity upgrading,and optimization.

文摘While desalination is a key solution for global freshwater scarcity,its implementation faces environmental challenges due to concentrated brine byproducts mainly disposed of via coastal discharge systems.Solar interfacial evaporation offers sustainable management potential,yet inevitable salt nucleation at evaporation interfaces degrades photothermal conversion and operational stability via light scattering and pathway blockage.Inspired by the mangrove leaf,we propose a photothermal 3D polydopamine and polypyrrole polymerized spacer fabric(PPSF)-based upward hanging model evaporation configuration with a reverse water feeding mechanism.This design enables zero-liquiddischarge(ZLD)desalination through phase-separation crystallization.The interconnected porous architecture and the rough surface of the PPSF enable superior water transport,achieving excellent solar-absorbing efficiency of 97.8%.By adjusting the tilt angle(θ),the evaporator separates the evaporation and salt crystallization zones via controlled capillary-driven brine transport,minimizing heat dissipation from brine discharge.At an optimal tilt angle of 52°,the evaporator reaches an evaporation rate of 2.81 kg m^(−2) h^(−1) with minimal heat loss(0.366 W)under 1-sun illumination while treating a 7 wt%waste brine solution.Furthermore,it sustains an evaporation rate of 2.71 kg m^(−2) h^(−1) over 72 h while ensuring efficient salt recovery.These results highlight a scalable,energy-efficient approach for sustainable ZLD desalination.

文摘The inability to access brain tissue has greatly hindered our ability to study and care for individuals suffering from psychiatric and neurological conditions.Critics have questioned efforts to develop peripheral blood biomarkers in neurological and psychiatric disorders based on the assertion that disease pathology is limited to the brain.The discovery that all tissues,including the brain,release extracellular vesicles(Raposo and Stoorvogel,2013)and cell free DNAs(Chan et al.,2013)into various body fluids has provided a potential way to measure activity from inaccessible tissues like the central nervous system(CNS)and has given rise to the term“liquid biopsy.”The development of liquid biopsies that can diagnose and predict the course of psychiatric and neurological disorders would be transformative.The ability to predict episodic events such as mania,depression,and risk for suicide would be particularly useful for psychiatric care as it would enable the development of interventions that prevent mortality and improve outcomes.Additionally,biomarkers that are informative about drug response and aid in treatment decisions would be a significant advance in psychiatric care as it would prevent patients from having to endure multiple courses of ineffective treatments and side effects.

文摘In this work, a new microextraction method termed ionic liquid based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction （IL-DLLME） was demonstrated for the extraction of 2-methylaniline, 4-chloroaniline, 1-naphthylamine and 4-aminobiphenyl in aqueous matrices. After extraction the ionic liquid （IL） phase was injected directly into the high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） system for determination. Some parameters that might affect the extraction efficiency were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, good linear relationship, sensitivity and reproducibility were obtained. The limits of detection （LOD, S/N = 3） for the four analytes were in the range of 0.45-2.6 μg L^-1. The relative standard deviations （R.S.D., n = 6） were in the range of 6.2-9.8%. This method was applied for the analysis of the real water samples. The recoveries ranged from 93.4 to 106.4%. The main advantages of the method are high speed, high recovery, good repeatability and volatile organic solvent-free.

文摘Ti-bearing slag(TiO2>20 wt%)is a valuable titanium secondary resource.The extraction of titanium from the slag is difficult due to the complex composition and structure.Although molten oxide electrolysis is considered as a promising method,silicon will be preferentially electroreduced compared to titanium due to low theoretical decomposition voltage.In this work,a liquid copper cathode is used to selectively extract titanium from molten Al2O3-MgO-CaO-TiO2-SiO2 electrolyte.It is found that comparing to silicon,titanium can be preferentially reduced by one-step electron transfer due to the enhanced depolarization effect on a liquid copper cathode.So,Ti-Cu alloys are firstly obtained from molten Ti-bearing slag,and then Ti-Si alloys are co-electrodeposited in the molten oxide electrolyte with low TiO2 content.It may be ascribed to the larger binding force between titanium and copper than that between silicon and copper.It provides an effective strategy for the separation of titanium from of Ti-bearing slag.

文摘It is very significant to recover rare earths （REs） from wet-process phosphoric acid, in terms of extraction rate and selectivity, the current carrier di（2-ethlhexly） phosphate （D2EHPA） out there is still inferior. Based on this question, our team modified D2EHPA to synthesize new extractants. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the extraction of rare earth ions （RE3＋） from phosphate leach solution using emulsion liquid membrane （ELM） in concentrated nitric acid medium. The ELM system is made up of （RO）2P（O）OPh-COOH as carrier, polyisocrotyl succinimide （T154） as surfactant, sulfonated kerosene as diluent, phosphoric acid （H3PO4） as stripping solution. Different chemical parameters such as type and concentration of carrier, surfactant, stripping solution, volume ratio of oil phase to internal phase, and volume ratio of emulsion ratio to external phase were analyzed. The extraction of RE^3＋ was evaluated by the yield of extraction. In addition, the demulsification process was also investigated. The proposed method of ELM using （RO）2P（O）OPh-COOH as carrier can he expected to provide an efficient, simplify operation, and facilitated method for extractine RE^3＋.

文摘Extraction and separation of yttrium in chloride medium using tri-n-octylmethylammonium（2-sec-octylphenoxy） acetate（[N（1888）][SOPAA]） as an extractant were studied in this article. Tri-n-butyl phosphate（TBP） was used as a phase modifier to accelerate phase separation and improve the stability of organic phase. The addition of TBP contributed to shortening phase separation time, increasing extraction capacity of rare earth elements（REEs） and decreasing viscosity of organic phase. The slope analysis method and infrared spectroscopy were conducted to investigate the ion-association extraction mechanisms. Extraction and stripping performances of the different systems were also compared. The article showed that the extraction performance of mixed [N（1888）][SOPAA] and TBP is superior to that of [N（1888）][SOPAA] for heavy rare earth element（HREE）.

文摘A novel method for the determination of five carbamate pesticides （metolcarb, carbofuran, carbaryl, isoprocard and diethofencard） in water samples was developed by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction （DLLME） coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector （HPLC-DAD）. Some experimental parameters that influence the extraction efficiency were studied and optimized to obtain the best extraction results. Under the optimum conditions for the method, the calibration curve was linear in the concentration range from 5 to 1000 ng mL^-1 for all the five carbamate pesticides, with the correlation coefficients （r^2） varying from 0.9984 to 0.9994. Good enrichment factors were achieved ranging from 80 to 177- fold, depending on the compound. The limits of detection （LODs） （S/N = 3） were ranged from 0.1 to 0.5 ng mL^-1. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of the pesticide residues in environmental water samples.

文摘The recovery of rare earths （RE） during the wet processing of phosphoric acid is very important, the method of emul- sion liquid membrane （ELM） with di（2-ethylhexly） phosphate （D2EHPA） as carrier has the high selectivity while cannot provide a satisfactory extraction rate. Here novel method of emulsion liquid membrane （ELM） using Aniline as carrier to extract RE from the feed solution was proposed. The method could increase the extraction rate of RE in the real sample to 93%. The effects of dif- ferent parameters such as type and concentration of carrier and surfactant, hydrochloric acid concentration, organic to internal phase volume ratio, membrane to external phase volume ratio on extraction of RE3＋ were investigated. Quantitative extraction （〉93%） of RE3＋ was observed with 6 vol.% Aniline and 4 vol.% T 154 liquid membrane at external to internal phase volume ratio of 10 for the feed solution. The proposed method of ELM using Aniline as carrier can be expected to provide a practical, efficient, and economical method for extracting RE from phosphate leach solution with high acidity in the industry of wet process phosphoric acid.

文摘Uniform nanorods of rare earth phosphate(REPO_4, RE = La–Gd) nanocrystals were prepared in a properly designed ionic liquid extraction system by a stripping precipitation method. Rare earth ions were extracted into the organic phase at first; after that, the loaded organic phase was stripped by aqueous solution of PO_4^(3-) under stirring at room temperature within 5 min.The extractant used here is a bifunctional ionic liquid extractant called [A336][cyanex272]. The products are hexagonal phase in crystal structure, and their morphology is nanorods. The diameter of the products is from 30 to 50 nm, and the length increases from 200 nm to 2 μm gradually. Besides, the ionic liquid-absorbed CePO_4:Tb^(3+) nanorods show improved luminescent emitting intensity and lifetime. Based on the results, a possible growth mechanism of the REPO_4(RE = La–Gd) nanorods is proposed, where the extractants here also play roles of structure-directing agents and surfactants during the formation process of nanocrystals.

文摘1,5-Pentanediamine(PDA)produced by biological fermentation becomes popular,but the separation of PDA from the broth is a typical difficult problem.In this work,the performance of 200 ionic liquids(ILs),formed by combining 25 cations and 8 anions,in the extraction of PDA from aqueous solution were evaluated using COSMO-RS model.The extraction mechanism was investigated with the help ofσ-profile and interaction energy analyses.Both the cation and anion have impacts on the extraction efficiency,where cation mainly influences the interaction of IL with PDA and anion affects the hydrophobicity of IL.The IL composed of long alkyl-chain in cation and the anion of[PF6]-or[TF2 N]-,which has theσ-profile more likely distributed in the nonpolar region but less distributed in the polar region,is favorable for extraction.The experimental liquid-liquid equilibrium demonstrated the effects of cation and anion on extraction performance,which validated the reliability of COSMO-RS model in IL screening for PDA extraction.The IL[IM-1,8][PF6]could serve as a promising extractant for the downstream separation process of the biological production of PDA.

文摘The extraction kinetics of La(III) from aqueous chloride solutions into n-heptane solutions of bifunctional ionic liquid extractant [A336][CA-12](tricaprylmethylammonium sec-octylphenoxy acetic acid) was investigated using a constant interfacial cell with laminar flow. The effects of stirring speed, temperature and specific interfacial area on the extraction rate were examined. The results indicate that mass transfer kinetics of La(III) is a mixed-controlled process influenced by interfacial reaction. On the basis of mass transfer kinetic results in the extraction of La(III) by [A336][CA-12], the extraction rate equation of La(III) is proposed in terms of pseudo-firstorder constants, which is supported by the measured thermodynamic equations. The mass-transfer kinetic model deduced from the rate controlling step is adequate to interpret the experimental data qualitatively.
